2 biggest mistakes for us...a house we couldn't afford...we had to pay $3500 to the bank to sell it, we made no money...and we were broke trying to make the payments every month. We would have been fine w/ just the payments ($800/mo), the taxes & insurance were an extra $700/mo on top of payment.

and $750/mo, 6yr auto loan...will be paid off in a year, finally. Then maybe we'll be back on track...and hopefully we've learned from all our stupid mistakes!!
